You can tell by the way they walk, they've all got a place to be
But where they're going is of certainty, a place where we don't belong
You can tell by the way they speak, our wind doesn't blow as strong
We share a look, and we share a thought, january don't be long
You can tell by the mountains tall, some things are meant to be
But when the fires are breaking loose, you wonder to what degree
You can tell by the fallen snow, what's frozen will one day thaw
And I can tell when you look at me
January won't be long
January won't be long
So January don't be long
You can tell by the broken hearts, love is no longer free
But with a smile and some time to spend, you could pay for an eternity
January won't be long
January don't be long
I can tell by the way we see, memories are of the past
We share our moments so desperately, and hope they forever last
So can you tell when we're going home, our act for the world is gone
Cause I can tell when you look at me
January won't be long
January don't be long
In January we'll be gone
